Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, has appointed Vincent Frascogna as the manager for its Western Australia operations.

The appointment comes as the airline prepares for the launch of daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Perth on July 15.

Frascogna, who will be based in Perth, takes on the role after five years in Etihad’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi, managing the airline’s sales operations as head of the Commercial Department.

Etihad’ chief commercial officer Peter Baumgartner said the airline was delighted with Frascogna’s appointment to Australia in time to launch the airline’s new Perth services.
 
“Perth is an important market for Etihad Airways and Vincent has a wealth of commercial management experience and the right credentials to accelerate the growth of our business there,” he said. - TradeArabia News Service
